be considered. It is worth noting what experienced

It is good to provide one point responsibility provided driver you want is offer by compressor company and detail discussion with driver provider is agreed with both compressor vendor and river supplier. I have normally purchased compressor and river form single supplier .Most of time it worked but once or twice High Voltage motor gave serious problem and buying with single responsibility created problem.If client wants to buy driver directly then client becomes general contractor and must be ready have technical and contractual talent within organization to handle two separate contract.
